DST

A rainbow-colored blur rocketed across the sky to the crystal castle in the distance.

Rainbow Dash burst into the map room. "I'm here! We can totally get started on breakfast."

She was met by five blank stares.

"What? Aren't we doing breakfast?"

"Rainbow," began Twilight, "we've already eaten."

"What?"

"Yeah, it was totally Scrumdiddlyumptious!!!" declared Pinkie Pie.

"I agree darling," added Rarity. "It was quite delicious."

"How could you eat without me?" asked Rainbow Dash as her stomach lodged a similar protest.

Looking over at her friend, Applejack said, "Sugarcube, you're late."

"You said ten o'clock. I left my house at 9:59. It can't be more than 10:01."

Twilight sighed, "Rainbow, did you forget to move your clock forward?"

"Say what?"

"Today is Daylight Savings Time."

Rainbow facehoofed.

"That would be a no."

"Why do we move our clocks forward an hour? Why can't we just stay on one time all year? What sort of idiot came up with this!"

A voice came from behind, "Well, I take offense to the 'idiot' slur, but I find Daylight Savings Time to be quite chaotic."

Rainbow spun in place. "DISCORD!!!" she growled.
